Manufacturer’s Description

A stainless steel receiver;

front and rear slide grip serrations that continue over the slide top;

a double-action-only, striker-fired trigger system with a short reset;

a matte black finish on the slide;

The Honor Guard Sub-Compact with the flush-fit magazine and standard-length frame, from the left.

a low-profile, two white-dot rear sight dovetailed into the slide; and

You can get the Honor Guard Sub-Compact with a standard-length frame or a FIST frame. FIST stands for “firearm with integrated standoff” and is designed to allow shooters to press the gun against a bad guy without pushing the slide out of battery.

Honor Defense says this gun can handle +P ammo. It plans to begin shipping this pistol spring 2016, and also says it will soon offer a long-slide version.
